How did you pick your screen name? Uushia is a weird nickname I have held onto since middle/high school. She was a character in stories my friend and I used to write called Immortal Melody. The name is derived from a rainbow goddess that is actually just spelled Ushia but for whatever reason our weird way of doing things back then has just stuck with me.

How did you come to read Twilight and which book is your favorite?While I was on maturnity leave with my son in '07, I was reading to pass the time. I was in what my husband calls a vampire binge and consuming every novel I could get my hands on. I picked up Twilight and actually was leery of the YA over the first choice I had found. My first choice was a bummer halfway through the book. So I ventured to read Twilight worried I might have lost the taste for vamps. Thankfully,I fell in love with Edward through Stephenie Meyer's books. I quickly sought the others available at that time and have been a happy fan since.

Who do you like best: Edward, Bella, or Jacob?Okay I have mixed feelings. I originally fell in love with Edward,but after New Moon ??? I don't know? After him leaving Bella with what was said and Jacob picking up the peices?Personally I think Bella should have given Jacob more thought and Edward a kick in the pants. But then I'm not so forgiving as Bella. However, I understand why she went with him. Perhaps this was really where Bella seperated from "being like me" and for it I hope I can judge her actions better as a character.

Who is your favorite minor character?Yikes! This is hard because I tend to fall for many obscure characters. I think Seth would be a cool guy and Aro is just delicious.Reasons? Maybe I'm crazy.

What are your hobbies?My major Twilight related is probably roleplay forums. I'm an admin on a board and I'm definatly here to connect with others interested in becoming RP buddies and making fun story arcs. I dabble in skinning and I'm horrible at making nifty images.Out of Twilight, I enjoy mostly creative stuff--painting, drawing, and theater(backstage). I have a novel I am working on but I won't say much about other than I hope to get it published.

Where are you from (general area like Montana, not exact town!)I am from a city surrounded by cornfeilds in Indiana. Yes, I know that doesn't narrow it down. LOL.

How old are you? (In general, like teen, 20's, 30's, 40's etc)I'm in my twenties.

Anything else you would like to share.

I love meeting new people and I have yahoo messenger, ask and I'll send you a message. I'm hoping to find good RP buddies because I am very tired of the anti-twilight prejudice that seems to be cropping up in the RP community.
